Feature or bug?

still using 3.0.9

Character is blinded from eating a mushroom
with full inventory walks onto an un ID'd staff
use the staff and the room display turns black
look and the staff is ID'd as darkness.

Since I already know that telepathy still works even if blinded, from a different character. I would of expected any detection staff to still let me know what is in the range. Any cure staff might end the blindness. But I wouldn't expect to learn the effects of any other staff while blinded unless it teleportation

Forgot to mention, the visible objects on the floor are still shown on the display

As long as the map is updated immediately, this is the logical behavior. [It's comparable to seeing doors open that you don't have line of sight on.]

Quoted for truth.
Also similar to walls suddenly vanishing due to a burrower (e.g. Umber hulk) that you don't have line of sight on. It's just the way map and environment behaviour has been programmed.
